Titans Chat

Big thanks to Allan Whitehead - marking the pitch from 7-30 this morning having already done it on Thursday for the rain to wash it away.
Proper clubman! Double time for Saturdays, twice nothing still remains nothing!

Pitch nice and soft but well playable.

Just don't expect running rugby 

One would think Ellis would have played if he didn't have a shift he couldn't swap out of. Would not expect Callum to play the whole match.
Very lucky to have two such good players able to fill the No. 8 position again.

I was hoping for a correction to the latin 'punt' from a mere Southern lad from a secondary mod 'tha knows' 

Updated SODS report:
Thursday 6th
One silly old SOD pressure washed the 'Piper Alpha' steps in preparation for future painting when weather allows (next April the way things are going).

Friday 7th
Light handed 2 SODS
Cleaned out dressing rooms, showers and officials changing room, recovered empty large bins and 4 empty glass bins, swept leaves from behind clubhouse.

Tuesday 11th
Mob handed 3 SODS
Cleaned out dressing rooms, showers and officials changing room, emptied small bins from around site, put out 1 large bin for collection, swept leaves from behind clubhouse, swept guano from Shed. Looked at seaweed for best day to mark pitch!

Thursday 13th
**** 2 SODS
Marked out pitch  We can play on Saturday!!!!!

Travis did brilliantly to get back and knock the ball from the wingers grip but only because the winger clearly heard a cry from his team mates to cut in and score under the posts. Stood behind the posts for the incident and was very surprised that the Lions gave Travis a 'dick of the day' award for celebrating the successful tackle back. He took it in good heart but deserves much credit from us for his total commitment to get back.
That said I thought Lions deserved to take a point but never felt we in trouble despite the fluctuating score line. I think Lions will surprise a few teams this year much to our advantage. 

Why not come along in August to see them play the pre-season friendlies?

The S.O.D.S are pleased to announce that the Cricket Pavilion Balcony has now been pressure washed to rid it of accumulated gunge and pealing paint in preparation for a re-paint this summer.

We plan to hold still life painting classes at dates yet to be announced for those desperate enough to learn how to paint railings before tackling their own DIY projects at home. Classes will usually be offered on Tuesday and Friday mornings, weather permitting. Paint and brushes will be supplied free of charge to those fortunate enough to attend!

No need to book. Please just turn up when dates are announced or contact your local S.O.D representative.

Big thanks to those who have contributed to the Pitch Preparation appeal through the Crowdfunder.

Among all the usual great rewards on this seasons Crowdfunder is a newbie - Pitch Preparation!

Pitch preparation at £50 a home game has been added to help cover the cost of the line marking materials.
The 'Silly Old Delinquents Society' or SODS for short, mark out the pitch on the Fridays before home games and this reward will go towards covering the cost. Labour is of course provided free.
No great reward is in fact offered other than a nice warm glow for the kind donors and our deep appreciation.
Many thanks
